Destiny is the Wildlife Biology Associate working at the Warm Springs unit of the Don Edwards SF Bay National Wildlife Refuge. She is a graduate from Cal State East Bay with a bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences and a concentration in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Her love for nature was sparked by going on camping trips in the Sierra Nevada mountains with her family growing up as she admired and appreciated the beautiful scenery. After working at the Pollination Ecology Lab in her undergrad, her passion for conserving wildlife deepened and her mind was set on pursuing a career in conservation. She is excited to learn more about the unique vernal pool species along with different wildlife monitoring techniques in her time at Warm Springs.
